Racial Class (Ex):
V'K'kraan'ck MUST replace their first two racial levels with the first two levels of this class. They gain nothing from the racial levels.

Maneuvers:
See Warblade. Iron Heart, Diamond Mind and Stone Dragon only.

Maneuvers Readied:

A Nik'tch Master may add his Intelligence bonus (if any) to his reflex saves.

Battle Ardor (Ex):
A Nik'tch Master may add his Intelligence bonus (if any) to rolls to confirm critical hits.

Battle Cunning (Ex):
A Nik'tch Master may add his Intelligence bonus (if any) to melee damage rolls.

Evasion (Ex):
At 6th level and higher, a Nik'tch Master can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the Nik'tch Master is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless Nik'tch Master does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Improved Evasion (Ex):
At 18th level a Nik'tch Master always takes only half damage if he fails a Reflex save and no damage if he succeeds.

Mettle (Ex):
At 3rd level and higher, a Nik'tch Master can endure even magical and unusual attacks. If he makes a successful Fortitude or Will saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage.

Improved Mettle (Ex):
At 9th level a Nik'tch Master always takes only half damage if he fails a Fortitude or Will save and no damage if he succeeds.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex):
At 13th level, a Nik'tch Master retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. If a Nik'tch Master already has uncanny dodge from a different class, he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.

[Mangles]

I'm suprsied the V'K'kraan'ck don't have a racial ability to treat the Nik'tch courtblade as a martial weapon. Can't really comment on the rest till its done.

[Gaiyamato]

I thought about that or maybe giving them EWP with the weapon for free.
My concern is that they are too powerful for an LA+0 race already is all.

[Mangles]

With two +4 to stats and only one -2. Yes they probably are. Powerful Build is also very sought after for certain builds as its large without the penalties. Not sure about the Incarnum boost but still your adding more. The downfall of exhaustion is really minor unless your playing in a campaign that requires them a lot.

2 RHD still add to a character though and they can't be bought off, but you need to specify what type of creature they are so that we know what sort of HD you are giving out.

[Gaiyamato]

I am thinking that I might remove powerful build anyway. It does not quite suit them.

The 2RHD will be quite good actually, but a sacrifice nonetheless.

[Empedocles]

What's the idea behind the V'k'kraan'ck master?

[Empedocles]

Quick idea for a new image:http://i.imgur.com/vTtlRl.jpg

[Gaiyamato]

That could work for the next prestige class actually.

New V'k'kraan'ck Alternative Class Features

Aristocrat
Aristocrat is one of the most favoured classes for V'k'kraan'ck elite. The noble families of the V'k'kraan'ck society vie constantly for power and form an ever-shifting and changing complex mess of alliances and plots - most often assassination or finding ways to force a rival to lose face.
This is the reverse of the Drow who outwardly seem cold and distant, rigid and ordered yet secretly plot against one another constantly. The V'k'kraan'ck openly display their contempt, having little patience for subtle politics. They screech and yell at one another, slay each other openly in the street and frequently ignore orders from those they decide are not above them.
V'k'kraan'ck as a race may be Lawful, however their society does not make many laws or rigid traditions to keep things civil. Preferring an almost natural selection approach to dealing with problems.
Rulers survive through centralising power and ruling as Tyrants.

HD: Change to D6
Class Skills: Lose - Appraise, Disguise, Handle Animal, Ride, Speak Language, Swim. Gain - Craft(Poison), Craft(alchemy) and Spellcraft.
BAB: Increases to full.

RHD Specials:
Mage V'k'kraan'ck count Aristocrat levels as Wizard levels for increasing caster level. They gain 1 level 1 spell slot and may add a level 1 Wizard spell to their spellbook. Every 4th level in Aristocrat (4, 8, 12, 16) gain a slot and known spell 1 higher than the highest currently able to be case (so level 2, 3, 4, 5). At 5th level gain Battle Caster (Complete Arcane) for Light Armor. At 6th level in Aristocrat gain an Imp Familiar (see Demonologist), count as a Wizard equal to Aristocrat level -6.

Devoted V'k'kraan'ck count Aristocrat levels as Cleric levels for increasing caster level. They gain 1 level 1 spell slot and may select a single Domain, though they do not gain the Domain power (unless they later take levels in Cleric). The level 1 spell in this domain counts as known. Every 5th level in Aristocrat (5, 10, 15) gain a slot and known spell 1 higher than the highest currently able to be case (so level 2, 3 and 4). At 2nd level gain Rebuke Undead and Devils as a cleric equal to Aristocrat level -2.

Skilled V'k'kraan'ck may continue good reflex saves for Aristocrat levels and all RHD class skills continue to count as class skills for Aristocrat levels. At first level in Aristocrat gain Poison Use (as per Assassin). At 3rd level Aristocrat and every 4 levels after gain Sneak Attack +1D6. At 5th level Aristocrat and every 5 levels after gain a level of Skirmish (see Scout).

All V'k'kraan'ck Aristocrats gain a bonus feat at levels 6, 12 and 18 that they may use for any feat they qualify for.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the V'k'kraan'ck Elder Noble

V'K'kraan'ck Casting
Spell slots gained at each level are cumulative and may be assigned to any level of spells you can currently cast upon attaining that level. Assigning a bonus slot is permanent. In order to assign a slot to a spell level the lower level must have the same or more spell slots assigned to it already. You may assign as many level 0 spell slots as you like.
V'K'kraan'ck who cannot cast spells become a spontaneous arcane caster using Charisma as their primary score, gain 1 bonus level 1 spell slot, and may chose spells from the Assassins list and the Tyranny Domain.

If you accrue 2 slots in your highest available spell level (and thus every level lower) then you may spend 1 Slot point on gaining an additional level of spells to cast.

Prestige that grant +1 to spellcasting levels instead give you Spell Slots equal to your highest level spell you can cast -1.

Undead Leadership
Gain Undead Leadership as a bonus feat even if you do not meet the requirements for it.

Necrocarnum Infusion
You gain the ability to shape a single Soulmeld. You also may bind a single soulmeld to your Crown Chakra. You also gain knowledge of the the Necrocarnum circlet soulmeld.
You count as having the Necrocarnum Acolyte feat for prestige and feat requirements (you do not gain the benefit of the feat unless you take the feat).

Return the lost darkness
Delving into the language of Dark Speech you start to unravel some of it's mysteries. You may spend skill points in Dark Speech as a language. Using the language incurs damage if spoken aloud or written down (See book of Vile Darkness). You count as having the Dark Speech feat if you have at least 1 rank in Speak Language(Dark Speech). You cannot perform any of the beneficial effects of Dark Speech without the feat.
Should you take the Dark Speech feat and have a rank in Speak Language(Dark Speech), you suffer only half of the Ability Score damage it inflicts if you use it.

Rule the weak
Gain the Followers (http://www.purpleduckgames.com/ffollowers) feat as a bonus feat. If you already possess it this counts as a second selection of the feat. Also gain Assemble the Horde (http://www.realmshelps.net/cgi-bin/featbox.pl?feat=Assemble_the_Horde) as a bonus feat. It applies to your free Followers feat only.
You may not gain followers above 3rd level from this instance of this feat (though count all total potential followers for the purpose of Assemble the Horde).
All followers must be V'K'kraan'ck Aristocrats. (1sts level are V'K'kraan'ck with 1 RHD, 2nd level are V'K'kraan'ck with 2 RHD, 3rd level have 1 level of Aristocrat with the Racial ACF.)

Stronger than thou
You may add your highest Ability score as a racial bonus to all Intimidate, Gather Information and Knowledge checks and your Undead Leadership Score.

Da'raak'en'volt

Using dark incantations, souls, the extracted pain of hundreds of human slaves and vast amounts of negative energy the V'k'kraan'ck magically combined young Tyrannosaurus' and Chromatic wyrmling Dragons with enslaved V'k'kraan'ck minor nobles and Baaz Draconians through a hideous, painful, complicated and very lengthy process. The resultant creatures were entirely insane and required much "conditioning" and training before they could be used as mounts.

This is still a work in progress.
